DETROIT - The Wayne State University volleyball team (10-3, 5-0 GLIAC) went undefeated in its five-match homestand, which ended with a 3-0 victory over Lake Superior State University (3-9, 0-4 GLIAC) on Saturday afternoon at the Matthaei.

Wayne State swept the match by scores of 25-17, 25-21, and 25-20 to secure its fifth shutout of the season and its third on the homestand.

A four-point run early in the match gave Wayne State a 7-5 lead and the Warriors held the advantage for the remainder of the set.

Tied at 14-14 in the second, the Warriors went on a seven-point run and withstood a subsequent five-point run by the Lakers to take a two-set lead.

Down by three late in the third set, Wayne State came out of a timeout to win 10 of the final 12 points.

Madie Kent (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich./Grosse Pointe North) finished with six kills and a team-high 12 digs.  Candice Ottey (Ajax, Ont.) had five kills, and Cydney Biessel (Ruby, Mich./Yale) collected 31 assists and three blocks.
